RDS Camps

RDS Summer Day Camps

During the summer, the RDS offers advanced soccer players the opportunity to join Red Bulls pre-academy feeder system without first attending a try out.

Featuring the same great coaches and advanced individual curriculum, RDS camps offer the same competitive environment for advanced soccer players, but on a more flexible and accessible basis.

Camp benefits include:

Five days of intense, individual technical instruction, Monday through Friday

All players should be experienced travel team players, and should be prepared to work on advanced techniques aimed at the serious soccer player

As part of the Regional Development School, all RDS participants will earn eligibility for the RDS showcase tournament teams, with the outstanding talents earning recommendations for the full Academy teams

RDS Residential Camps

RDS Residential (or sleep-away) Camps offer a unique opportunity for players to immerse themselves in the RDS soccer experience both night and day.

Staffed by the recognized RDS coaches, these advanced soccer camps feature highly demanding on and off-field experiences. In addition to a high level of play, campers are held accountable to the standards of personal behavior that help to mold a successful soccer player and potential academy candidate.

As our most popular programs, many Residential Camp options are fully booked as early as the beginning of Spring. New applications must attend a try-out to earn their space on camp; existing and returning RDS participants are pre-approved for their camp of choice.
